hello guys, A question about CV joints on the gs450h I understand the inner joint ..diff end.. is a plunge/ pot joint to allow the varying length what joint is on the outer end? is that also a plunge joint or a CV..constant velocity joint..? the reason I am asking is because the shaft can be pushed in and out on both joints which seams odd as normally the outer CV is fixed length. any help appreciated thanks Alan.

Has anyone fitted these adjustable camber arms. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPC-67520-For-Lexus-GS-IS-ISF-IS-Conv-Adjustable-Rear-Camber-Arm-part/183762281167?_trkparms=aid%3D555021%26algo%3DPL.SIMRVI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225114%26meid%3D2386cea1e52640ff82db7efa1c938231%26pid%3D100752%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D172707957999%26itm%3D183762281167%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplRVIAMLv5WebWithPLRVIOnTopCombiner&_trksid=p2047675.c100752.m1982 I want to get rid of excess negative camber, also these to adjust the rear tracking https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adj-Rear-Toe-Arms-For-Lexus-GS300-350-430-450H-460-S190-06-11-Godspeed-AK-095-B/401975445036?fits=Model%3AGS300|Make%3ALexus&hash=item5d979a862c:g:BGMAAOSw-o9fFeea

Yes I decided to recheck the diagnosis before i destroyed the hub bearings so I boxed it up and swapped the rear tyres side to side and gave it a run. the nearside was still quiet but the drive side had reduced to a slight rubbing, nothing like it was so it may be the tyre wear does not agree with being on the offside. I am going to give it another run tomorrow and see where we go from there.

I,ve had a start on the job, I got the 4 bolts out the back of the hub, removed the 32mm nut of the shaft and knocked the shaft back so the hub should come off however it is damn tight, I have tried with a slide hammer but it does not want to move, when i turn the shaft by hand the bearings seem to rotate smoothly so don,t really want to destroy the bearings, I am wondering is it normal for CV joints to fail on the gs I cant get a proper test of the CV while it is in the hub . I have a set of electronic chassis ears so i placed a microphone next to each rear wheel and when on the road the nearside was quiet with a slight click but the offside has a terrible roar which increases with speed and also the clicking is louder, so because the hub bearings appear to be smooth i have decided to check the CV, however as mentioned removing the hub to get a better check on the CV is proving difficult without destroying the bearings. could the tyre make the roaring noise, I did think it was tyre noise originally but the tyre appears to be ok, it is a michelin Pilot sport and cannot find any lumps or bumps on it and tread looks ok.

Hi guys, I have a noisy outer CV joint on the offside so I need to replace the driveshaft has anyone any experience of the job and how much of the suspension needs to be dismantled to get the shaft out?. thanks

I've cleaned the lens to within a inch of its life and its no different, I think the coating maybe damaged cause the image is glared in the centre which makes it unusable.

hello to all, The reverse cam on my 07 gs450h has a poor image so I wondered has anyone manage to link a universal rear camera into the monitor system, is there any facility to connect the RCA plug to the wiring? Thanks Alan.

Thanks for allowing me into the club forum An excellent Android app for analysing and testing the hybrid battery is Dr Prius works with a Elm 327 Bluetooth adapter. The programme does a full battery test and gives an indication of the remaining battery life etc.
